Nelopaio nods slightly, taking a moment to consider that before replying to Twilightsaber...
SpoilerShow
{That can be arranged, yes... I would like to get these orders out in the open now, however. Any further delay could have consequences that neither of us wish to deal with in regards to the mission. If she's cooperative in that, we'll see how she conducts herself. If not, yes, I daresay that getting her under control is well in order, as well as consequences to take place once we return home, if she insists on acting out of line...}
Regarding Twilightsaber for a moment, she opens her notably unpleasant sanzai and lets fly, {Sezon Stormrage, report to my quarters before morning meal.} she sends plainly, not bothering to hide the cracking note in her mental tone.

Roland was up several hours before breakfast, shower...too short to suit him. Shave, the archaic straight razor was a memento from an ancestor. along with the other items that were still in the same plain brown box they had been mailed home to his family in. Shot down somewhere, in one of those wars his family always found themselves in. It steadied his nerves and felt somehow more proper than the electrics and safety razors.
Setting at his small desk he drew up the duty roster, purely routine. except for juggling people to escort duty, and babysitting the guest quarters. He looked over the training drills he had already planned. and made a few notes. Most of all he wanted to set down with the security chief from the Loroi and get some things worked out. He would like to see their team in action just to see what they were capable of.

He finished the notes and sent them to the captains terminal. filling out the daily paperwork and sending it off to whatever station it went to. The dressed, strapping on his side arm and adding a combat knife to his other hip. He chose his custom model this time. It was within issue and he preferred it to the standard issue.

Walking to the galley he looked over the choices. picked u a few pieces of fruit that were left after months on station, some eggs, bacon, and an extra cup of coffee. He looked around and spotted Aldridge and hadrid settign at the same table and headed that way >

{ "Good morning sir." } Roland nodded as he sat down and took a drink of coffee.{ " Charlie, hope the eggs are better than they look today." }

Sleep was troubled... as usual. But eventually oblivion of non-dream-stuff followed fortunately this time shortly afterward... exhaustion being something of a balm of comfort.

Storm did not wake quickly she slept long and late her own recuperative natural abilities taxed to the limit. The dreams... more night mares came and went sometimes in vivid color and others vague half-forgotten recollections.

When lucidity returned to her on waking most of the other Loroi were already up and moving about. She still felt a
fuzzy-headedness and a dull headache. She sat up in bed and at first looked around in wonder at her unfamiliar surroundings but quickly memory reasserted itself. Placing her feet on the deck she stood somewhat shakily weariness still upon her limbs and picked up the ice pack from her vacc-suit helmet in the reddish night light of her cabin. She picked up her Psi-Amp and shuffled toward the bathroom...

Instantly the proximity sensors turned on the bathroom vanity lights glaring to her annoyance. Setting the Ice pack down she placed the Psi-Amp in her brow and concentrated. Then she put more water in the icepack from the faucet. Focusing her mind on the cool water int he pack she drew the heat out of it with a simple pryro/cryokinetic trick freezing a new ice pack. The simple effort was a test... there was a litle trouble focusing but no pain. She breathed a sigh of relief. At least she had not permanently injured herself neurologically.

Picking up the pack she held it to the back of her head and the knot that had formed there ... instantly her head started to feel better the headache receding.


{... I'm sure mother would agree I have a hard enough head.}, she thought bitterly...

Turning she made her way back to bed... intent on going back to sleep... when the there was mental contact. Instantly from training no longer dulled by extreme fatigue her Mind Shields slammed into place and the scratchy imperfect sanzai of Nelopaio {Sezon Stormrage, report to my quarters before morning meal.}

Storm didn't reply, she still was tired and returned to bed returning her Psi-amp to the table stand next to the bed and resting her head upon the ice pack as she drifted in and out of sleep... but with the cool relief there came no dreams.

Wakeful loroi are not quiet mentally, so only perhaps an hour more of rest was afforded her before all the criss-crossing mental activity had her fully wide awake again. But the rest had done her good... the knot on the back of her head had gone down the swelling abated and she was feeling less wool-headed.

Musing to herself, {Guess I missed whatever the humans serve as food... not sure that's a bad thing actually...}

Slowly she got out of bed and and did some simple physical exercises... stretching mostly limbering her body up for whatever activities the day had in store. The process was also a mental exercise focusing one's will and marshalling her mental resources for the day.

Pulling the 't-shirt' off she stepped nude into the shower for a quick refreshing cleaning of her body. The towels and hair dryer used again and she was ready to get moving. She looked somewhat disdainfully at the human jumpsuits deciding to avoid trying those for now...later maybe. Her bioplas crewsuit was as expected dry and nourished so she slipped it back on in its neutral loose setting then pressed the memory switch at the wrist and again it was skin tight hugging her shapely petite body and fully cleaned.

Returning to the night stand she placed the ice pack there and attached her holster to her hip drawing the blaster and again unloading it slipping the e-cell into a ammo pocket on her crew suit. Donning her Psi-amp she pondered her armored vacc-suit...

Shrugging, {We're into this too far as it is if things go bad no armored vacc-suits going to help... !}

Finally she left her room and sanzaied to Nelopaio, {Soroin Mallas Sunbloom, I'll be right there. Softsapphire wanted to look over my injuries to determine ...likely if I needed to stay in bed for the day... I feel much better and rested today. I won't be long sister - this should be quick.}

Finding the Listel's room was no issue and she sanzaied, {Listel Saszel Softsapphire you wanted to see me in the morning. May I enter?}

Paiad was feeling herself better after full rest and whatever she had yesterday, it wasn't bothering her now. She was still careful and put a papermask over her mouth, before she leaved the containment room. She examined the wounded and baby, before she asked one of the humans on guard escort her to other loroi.

She saw that Nelopaio and Twilightsaber had meeting and when they called Stormrage, so excused and joined with them.
SpoilerShow
{Morning. As you know, we have emergency rations for couple of days. It takes more time to check their food for every known poison and verify the unknown ones. More if we don't wan't to tell humans, how they can poison us.}

{I would concur that we need to test their foods for allergens and toxins... But it would be far from their best interests to deliberately poison us, for numerous reasons. Remember, they were looking to initiate diplomatic contact to start with, sister.}

{I know, but I also know over thirty chemicals, which can make us sluggish and compliant. I suggest that those, who has experiences of variety of diets or living outdoor, start testing human food and other can observe their reactions. From the Bellarmine items, we can say that humans eat almost similar food as us and the food examined has very little amount of poisons.}

{They know where they stand. As for testing, I'll volunteer... Trust me, you eat some odd things on Maya.} she says, offering a wry smile.

{I have heard that. I suggest that you try only meat on first day, add fruits and vegetables on second, seasonings on third. And there is one thing, which we should be careful with. Chocolate. It will increase need of urinating and in great amounts it will harm our kidneys. It seems that humans are very fond of it, because it has lot of energy and it is said to be delicious.}

Nodding at Paiad, Nelopaio turns her head towards the sensation she feels as Stormrage approaches. Looking back towards her sister, she sanzais,
{Can you excuse us for now? We need to speak with Sezon Stormrage, alone. I will be quite willing to collaborate with you further after that, sister.}
Paiad nods and turn away. At door she looks on Softsapphire for short moment, but she leaves the questions unasked. She does wonder, why she doesn't follow direct order, but goes on another door instead.

[Hm... I think we have a little problem with the timing of events here. Nelopaio and Twilightsaber meet, the human officer will meet them and the volunteers around 600 beats later = ~22 minutes if I am correct. However, Stormrage will awake about an hour after the meeting between Mel and the Mizol. Thats a bit of a problem... However, I hope this solves it and sorry, no Anderson this time. :oops: ]

Twilightsaber and Nelopaio waited for Stormrage to wake up and meet them. They both could sense that she was not awake yet and so they waited patiently and discussed some minor issues about that situation. Twilightsaber was counting down the beats they had left:

{95, 94, 93, 93, ..., 87, 86} as a sudden and unpleasant buzzing noise could be heared inside Nels room. Apparently someone waited for them outside the door and Twilightsaber opened it, to see who it might be.
{It can´t be Stormrage... I would sense her...} she thought for herself.

What she saw, as the wings of the doors opened, confused her for a moment. Two humans stand there and were apparently surprised to see someone that quickly. To the Parats surprise, both of them were female. She had to admit to herself that she did not expect that.

{Is this a reaction to Stormrages actions yesterday?}

For a brief moment both sides gazed at each other and she could look at the two human females more closely. The taller one wore the uniform of the human soldiers aboard or "marines" as they called them. For a moment she thought she looked at a crewsister with a skin disease, maybe a Teidar that she didn´t notice before? No, judging from her ears she was a human, but her almost white hair and her cold blue eyes, that starred back at her, gave her a tougher appearance than the other human females she had meet till now. The other, smaller human female was the total opposite. She had long almost black hair, was very skinny and had a softer face. Her eyes tried to avoid direct contact with her own, so she could only vaguely identify her eye color as a dark brown and she appeared to her like a young and unexperienced Soroin Paset.
Much to her surprise, not the soldier female started to speak to her, it was that black haired girl!


[He... Hello...] she stuttered in her low voice and tried not to directly look at the Mizol for some reason and stared at the floor for some reason. [I... am Ensign Cho and this is Corporal Nordstroem.]
She made a small pause, closed her eyes for a short moment and took a deep breath. Her trade skills were, however, very good.
[We are here to guide those who want to try some of our food to the messdeck and I have to inform you that we are preparing to jump out of this system...]
Then she suddenly went silent again and her face turned red.
[Uhm... Sorry, I forgot... Uhm... Are you Soroin Mallas Nelopaio?]

Twilightsaber was stunned for a moment. Then she answered in her most kind and soft voice:

[No, I am not Nelopaio, but don´t be frightened. I am Mizol Parat Twilightsaber, but calling me Twilightsaber would be enough. Please, come in. Nelopaio is right here.]

Saying this, she stepped aside and let the smaller human enter the room. The soldier female waited outside, carefully watching them with her ice cold blue eyes while her hands hold some form of rifle, pointed to the ground.

[OOC: Just because of popular demand...]

For the human side:


The three man sat at their table, eating their breakfast, drinking coffee and so on, as suddenly, out of a group of giggling female crewmembers, Ensign Anderson approached their table, with a big smile on her face.

[Good morning!] she greeted everyone on the table, sat down and sipped on her coffee.

She starred at Sergent Aldrige for a while and her smile wasn´t getting smaller. Then she couldn´t hold it anymore.

[Oh, poor Charlie...]

But somehow she couldn´t say more than that.

[what's it all about?] Hadrid said, finishing his coffee. [Ah never mind probably I don't want to know.]

He rose from table taking his empty food tray with him. turning toward Roland:

[Sergeant, please sent those training drills which you were working on to my computer. I will look at them in free time.. ]

With those words spoken he left toward "kitchen return window" to drop his tray inside.

The Listel looked intently as Stormrage told her how she felt.

{Forgive my suddenness, but I am going straight to the point. I am sure everyone will know how to take care of your physical wounds, and I am pretty sure they are well underway to heal properly. What I am afraid of is what goes on between your two ears, in your brain, in your mind. And no, I am not speaking of your short joining with the human mind, but we will touch that a little later, will you.

For now, I am more concerned about your trauma. It is not the first time a disaster like this happens to you; I could sense it rather easily. And before this new wreckage of a ship turns into a wreckage of your mind, a new trauma, I want to put it out of your mind. First of all, you did brilliantly, especially considering your wounds. But we must speak about what you actually feel. You may think it is too early, but traumas are better treated as soon as the fact happens, before long term memory kicks in to lock the negativity into your brain cells. That is why I want to settle this as soon as possible. It might take some time, but I believe we will have a couple of weeks now to work on this.

And then, before we start, I do not want you to blame yourself with everything regarding the human you linked with. Twilightsaber and the diplomacy division might find it foolish, but this is not what I believe. On one side, I want you to feel confortable with what you did, even when with me at least. I am sure it was a great experience, because just what we felt was a great experience. For you, it must have been indescriptible. On the other hand, I believe you know that I specialized in the study of our sanzai. The Listel chose me foremost to get rid of me, but also because of my experience with sanzai AND with alien species. I thought I was too great a xenophile, for let us say you are not the first to have felt something for someone outside, but I found my equal here. So no, you will receive no scolding from my side. Actually, perhaps... support.}

Having left her order somewhat nebulous, Nelopaio considers the response for a moment, finding it reasonable, {Very well. We will be waiting, Sezon.} she sanzais in turn... Looking up quickly at the sudden arrival of the two human females, she tilts her head, regarding them curiously. Listening to the conversation, she immediately realizes they are looking for her, standing and moving forward to meet the one who entered the room, offers a slight smile and her trademark, velvet purr of a voice in turn, speaking trade, "I'm Soroin Mallas Nelopaio, Ensign Cho." she says, hoping her demeanor will serve to put the clearly uncomfortable woman at ease, at least to a degree, "While I appreciate your offer of escort, there is a matter I must attend to before I can be made available to sample your cuisine. Crew issues, you understand. After the events that set us on the path to here, there are, understandably, those who require some guidance, perhaps reassurance, in this situation. I hope I do not seem rude, but the health and safety of my crew are my primary concerns. However, if you would care to wait, perhaps converse with us until the matter is resolved, we would both be delighted."

Stormrage hears Sunbloom's reply and ponders mentally, 'We will be waiting...?'

Storm almost sanzais to find out what's going on... when Softsapphire sanzais to her...

Stormrage is...caught completely off guard! This ... approach and concern was not what she expected. Her eyes glance away looking at the hallway outside Softsapphire's room reflexively looking for escape preferring not to face her inner turmoil... but it is only a brief thought of escape.

Storm had only thought the Listel wanted to make sure she was physically fit to stay on duty... but this was much deeper. It would make little difference if the Listel declared her physically... or mentally unfit for duty she could be ordered on those grounds to off-duty status if she tried to avoid this.

"I feel... I need to be getting on with my duties. I really, in this situation..., don't have time for this you know..."

Reluctantly and resigned she walked into the room letting the door shut behind her.

To Softsapphire:

Stormrage looked around the room and her mind shield's flared to solid defense. She seemed unwilling to show weakness... her spoken reply soft...

"I ... don't like to talk about it. The Deathwind is ... was the past... I can't change it. But ... I have nightmares, there is nothing that can be done. I ...endure them."
{And then, before we start, I do not want you to blame yourself with everything regarding the human you linked with.

This ...again catches Stormrage off guard coming from a totally different point of inquiry.. she had not really examined her feelings on the moment having pushed the experience to the back of her mind. But mentioning so openly the experience and directly her emotions in that moment brought the emotions the experience back to the forefront of her consciousness.

Stormrage, deadly Teidar Sezon, skilled warrior, tough as duralloy disaster multiple-shipwreak survivor... blushes hotly.

Immediately defensive, her mind shields hardening even further, "..it was not like that! Charles Aldridge was willing and it was one of my mission directives! I.. was not ... I mean I did not feel ... that kind of attraction... I was finding out if all humans have the same lotai as Captain Jardin... no-nothing more! Human males are just very similar to loroi males its was just... a natural reaction... nothing more!"

...her words may say one thing but her emotions ...perhaps something else...but its hard to tell as she is actively trying to block and such detection.

"I feel... I need to be getting on with my duties. I really, in this situation..., don't have time for this you know..."

{And so will you be getting on with your duties. The fact I wanted to see you and speak more deeply about things that just happened and others that happened a long while ago does not mean that I will not let you do your work. Take it as a medicine, if you want. It may take some time to ingest a single dose, but you can still work before and after.}

Reluctantly and resigned she walked into the room letting the door shut behind her.

{The past is the past. But your nightmares are not in the past. They are with you, in the present. As I said and I repeat, they don't make you unfit; just a little sick. A mental scar that hasn't healed properly. And what I want to do is to heal it properly. And those nightmares are exactly what I want to avoid with this new situation. Traumas are most easily treated on the spot; same thing for mental traumas. I will take some of your time to do it, but not much more than if our doctors had to treat you for an injury. And trust me, when we will have taken care of all that, you will be so fit for duty that you will excel. That, I know.}

Softsapphire sanzais the last sentence with so much conviction that it might surprise Stormrage. It's not merely something to reassure Stormrage, kind words to a damned soul. No, you have the word of a leader who actually is honestly congratulating the best soldier, or the scholar handing a perfect score to her pest student. She has total faith in Stormrage.

...her words may say one thing but her emotions ...perhaps something else...but its hard to tell as she is actively trying to block and such detection.

Softsapphire shows only understanding in her face. And then, a wide smile appears on her face, and even a small laughter.

{I look at you, and I see myself, not so long ago. "The Barsam was willing and it was one of my mission directives." I never said the words; I am too much aware of my own emotions and way too direct to actually deceive myself in such a way. But the thought to actually say that must have crossed my mind. More than once. Imply what you wish, you will never imply enough.

Okay, true, I do not have the excuse of Barsam being similar to Loroi males. They are quite dissimilar actually, I can attest. But I can trust this experience I have with what happened with you. Your emotions, what you felt, is important. It doesn't matter what kind of attraction it was. If it was me, I would keep on and discover more. And it certainly helps that human males do look stronger than Loroi males; even stronger than Loroi females perhaps. Perfect for a strong warrior as you.

I also find it interesting that I am not the only Loroi who got at least a little interested in other species. I believe that, for our own survival, we will have to get interested in them and actually actively somehow mix with them. I've work with Loroi, Barsam, Neridi and Pipolsid and, trust me, I have done way more with the later three than the Loroi, even though I still spent most of my life around my kind. Humans are probably the same, and I fully expect to enjoy relating with the human crew.

And the fact your natural reactions kicked in means that you are mentally fit for duty. The nightmares are not overwhelming you, which is good. As I said, I will support you, whatever you may decide regarding Charles. And yes, even if I have to go in opposition to a certain Mizol.

Now, as for the whole Lotai thing... Well, that is exactly what I wanted to see. I thought of making the test myself, but like our Mizol, I was afraid of hurting the humans with any attempt. Forgetting all the emotional, what did it feel like. For me, when you did it, it felt as void. We have a connexion to everything living, but that... emptiness... was unsettling. I would like you to describe your sensations (except your emotional bond) about it. I might want to attempt it later. I am supposed to meet one of their Listel, or scientists as they say here, after we are done.}

Stormrage takes this admonishment in stride making no comment in reply... but her expression is somewhat... petulant and pouty {which is actually a very cute expression on her}.
{The past is the past. But your nightmares are not in the past. They are with you, in the present. As I said and I repeat, they don't make you unfit; just a little sick.

Stormrage looks away closing her pretty green eyes in and expression than can only be sorrow and shame...

Speaking... unwilling to betray or reveal her inner pain by sanzaing she speaks softly, "... a Tiedar must always be ready for duty.. to defend her sisters. Their is no time for grief in battle. Even when it hurts the most... you must carry on. I'm... needed and in the war weakness can mean the loss of more sisters... or our allies. I've requested constant combat duty and my powers are highly valued in many situations. I throw myself into battle to keep from thinking about all the death.. I'm too busy staying alive. I... don't have time to think about he~ ... my record may if I'm good enough and decorated enough gain my mother's recognition .. and approval... I have loss many fre~... but they would want me to keep fighting... to make their sacrifice have meaning! I'll... not be weak... for their sake... .... at least.... .."

Her words trial off her fists clenched tightly her eyes burning emerald coals of tightly held emotion. Her block of emotional sense is wavering... occasional glimpses of pain, loss and self-recrimination slip past her steely mental grip.

Straitening her shoulders somewhat, gathering her pained dignity she speaks, "I ...thank you for your belief in me Softsapphire. I wish my mother... felt such.. trust.. in her wayward disappointing daughter..."

Stormrage looks at Softsapphire in startled surprize and her block vanishes and a swirl of emotions emits from her. Her pretty green eyes haunted at her mention of Barsam... and the emotion that fills her is regret her eyes almost watering.

She turns away completely to hide memories filling her and bringing sorrow to the surface of her mind.

She interrupts Sofsapphire and calmly and relates...

"I was positioned with the ground forces on Tanima-3 to establish a supply line depot to the raider fleets during the Maiad Campaigns of 2158. The Umiak had slipped by the picket fleet having found another system to jump through. Fleet command had realized this was a possibility so our defenses were ready... but the ground assault force was ...far larger than ... had been anticipated that and several lighting raids in several systems meant not reinforcements or fleet support would be arriving soon. We were a join force of ground forces... Barsam, Golim workers, and Loroi. I... knew a Barsam troubadour-cleric 'battle-field chaplain' named Ahmin-Ka Rey'hram. He was ministering to the Barsam troopers that were fighting alongside us. We spent several day cycles fighting against the Umiak ground troops... I... liked his singing. He had a deep but tender basso of a voice... he was very inspiring."

"Their was a feint and the loroi positions were stormed en-masse by Umiak hard troopers... they were trying to take out our farseers. I was battling striking them down with my power guantlets and electrokinetic death... but the shells kept coming... it was mass suicide... but they had numbers - as always on their side. We heard the 'shells' broadcast to our allies that if they withdrew and allowed them to wipe out the loroi contingent.. they would suspend hostilities and allow them to withdraw to the edge of the system. There were so few of us left... we had no idea if relive would arrive soon. We expected our allies to take the offer... to stay was certain death. The hard troopers came on again and we fought.. fought hard trying to slay as many as we could before the end came for us. Then suddenly Ahmin-Ka Rey'hram and the Entire Barsam contingent counter-struck the Umiak. I was so surprised to see Ahmin-Ka Rey'hram at my side singing in his bellowing voice a war-chant to lead the faithful, his purple duralloy plate armor gleaming in the reddish sun, his War-Clivegrh {a Very large Halbard like pole-axe with a wicked hooked and plasma-honed serrated edge that is a hand and a half weapon to the large Barsam}, laying into the Umiak hard troopers and his Splinter Gun {a hyper-velocity explosive fully automatic railshotgun} barking death and shattering 'shells'! He fought at my side... We won ... but ...Ahmin-Ka Rey'hram was wounded pierced by many Umiak sliver poison rounds and burned by plasma pulse fire... he was protecting me. He told me, 'It had been a good fight and that he had no regrets... protecting his little sister warrior...' He ...died holding my hand... in his strong fist. I.. could not help ... I.. wept at his loss... I know it was unseemly... but it hurt... feeling his mind slip away... he was so very brave, and strong and so... inspiring... ...."

Storm raises a hand to her face to wipe her eyes and face.

"I learned later that a picket fleet had arrived a day before but it was a small fleet and wanted to ambush the fleeing Umiak forces if they were pushed back or catch them weakened if they tried to dig in. We were deemed an unavoidable casualty if we could not drive them back. Ahmin-Ka Rey'hram... might not have had to die. We ...were not attracted to each other... not like that but.. I liked him he was... valorous... he didn't deserve to die like that."
{It doesn't matter what kind of attraction it was. If it was me, I would keep on and discover more. And it certainly helps that human males do look stronger than Loroi males; even stronger than Loroi females perhaps. Perfect for a strong warrior as you.}
Stormrage interrupts her again, "I'm not strong...! I'm just unlucky enough to survive when real heroes die...! I cant help feeling ...I should have died with all my crewsisters and friends on the Deathwind... with her... with Malirtin 'Shining-Silver'... I loved her dearly... but not knowing.. is ...so painful... "

She softly admits, "...yes. I'm still there on the Deathwind... everyday I'm alive and they are dead. But a Teidar must ALWAYS be ready for duty. So I push on and ...endure... as I must..."

"...why can we not be free to love whom our hearts demand of us? I honestly don't know how I 'feel' about Charles Aldridge. I just don't want to be hurt anymore... its easier not to feel anything."

[In the messdeck:]

Anderson turned to Hadrid as he stood up and wanted to leave. She looked a bit worried and said:
[Sir... you´re leaving already? I´m sorry... It was just some gossip about him and I wanted to check if he was okay...]

[In Nelopaios quarter:]

Cho felt very unsure about what to do now. That was not what she had expected and the Captains orders sounded so easy to her. "Just go there and take those volunteers to the messdeck. There is nothing to worry about..." She could still hear those words from him in her mind. But he wasn´t here, now.
There was just her scared self and no Captain, First Officer, etc... to aid her. Just those scary woman warriors about which she had heared so many fearsome things, back at the academy. Their language was the most fascinating one she had ever heared or learned and normally she would be happy to speak it. But right now, she wanted to turn around and run away. However, she couldn´t, she was an Officer now and no longer a little girl. Cydonia was not the school of her youth and the Captain was not her father who would protect her from almost anything. Now she had to get through such situations herself.
She couldn´t help but think about back then: the hazing of the other kids because of her good marks in school, those linguistic talents, her weak body, her shyness,... Their laughter about her... All these bad memories hit her like an ice cold fist in her stomach.


{Why now? Please... go away... Not while they are looking!}

Her eyes starting to feel wet, panic started to rise in her, a shiver ran down her back and as she heared the low hissing sound of the closing door, she was about to burst out in tears.
But then, with an even lower "click" the door stopped and opened again. She looked back and saw directly in the eyes of Corporal Nordstroem. The woman everyone simply called the "Ice Queen". She stood in the door and her right feet had stopped the door from closing and her cold blue eyes meet with hers for a brief moment. Normally that would be enough to make her run for her life. But now, she felt relived, as she hat totally forgotten her and for the blink of an eye she thought that she had smiled at her.

{Orders... think...! Oh, yes...! A question...}

She raised her head and looked at that Loroi who was the person she should talk to.

{Nelopaio... Sunbloom...? A strange name...}

She was taller than herself, nothing new to her. But that blue skin... those eyes... She was somehow fascinated. That was not what she had expected.
Words formed in her mind. Time to answer those questions...


[Uhm... My full name is Seo-yeon Cho. Ensign is my rank. You can call me Ensign Cho, or Cho, if you like. Is calling you Mallas Nelopaio correct?]

After hearing an answer she continued, driving those bad memories out of her mind...

[Crew issues...? Uhm... Can we assist you in some way? If someone of your crew needs some form of... recreation... I could ask Lt Cmdr Ferox to... arrange... something, as Captain Blake is not available right now. There is an... recreation area... in the messdeck, too. I am sure I can take you there, if you like.]

Sitting there on her bunk, Nelopaio looks less like a superior officer and more like a councillor... Or diplomat, smiling softly as she watches the difficulty come, then pass, curious as to what brought it on... Do we make this one that uneasy?... Curious... she thought to herself, "Yes, Mallas Nelopaio, or simply Nelopaio is perfectly acceptable Ensign Cho. Soroin is my caste, those who act as both crew and soldiers. Mallas is my rank, sufficient to be second in command on a warship. Nelopaio is my spoken name... Sunbloom." she answers in that velvet voice... Between her finely featured face, clearly proportioned form, and that voice, she's almost surreal in a way.

Tilting her head a moment, she considers Cho's offer, "Mmm. Perhaps that would be a good idea, yes. I'm sure many of our crew could use some sort of release. It's been... Tense. As for the 'issues', merely concern over the state of mind of one who has pushed herself harder than the rest. As befits my rank, with our captain incapacitated, the responsibilities fall to me." Nelopaio explains, calmly and without a trace of impatience, "Your idea has merit, and would be appreciated."

Taking a moment to regard her, and knowing she will be unable to continue with her day until the issues are resolved, Nelopaio's smile changes to a mildly curious one, "If I might ask, Ensign Cho, what duties do you perform aboard this vessel? Are you to be our liaison with our counterparts on it's command crew?"

Something about the somewhat unusual woman struck a chord with her instincts, something she quickly attributes to her role as Soroin Mallas... She looked like a newly minted sister, in need of some guidance.

Malidasaria steps out of her room, long voluminous hair down and clad loosely in one of the Terran jumpsuits, then begins walking to the mess hall. A close observer would find that the telepath's hands are shaking slightly and that there are bags under her eyes. As she walks, she speaks telepathically to her sisters, her ‘voice’ multifaceted and out of sorts.

"... a Tiedar must always be ready for duty.. to defend her sisters. Their is no time for grief in battle. Even when it hurts the most... you must carry on. I'm... needed and in the war weakness can mean the loss of more sisters... or our allies. I've requested constant combat duty and my powers are highly valued in many situations.

Her words trial off her fists clenched tightly her eyes burning emerald coals of tightly held emotion. Her block of emotional sense is wavering... occasional glimpses of pain, loss and self-recrimination slip past her steely mental grip.

Straitening her shoulders somewhat, gathering her pained dignity she speaks, "I ...thank you for your belief in me Softsapphire. I wish my mother... felt such.. trust.. in her wayward disappointing daughter..."

Stormrage looks at Softsapphire in startled surprize and her block vanishes and a swirl of emotions emits from her. Her pretty green eyes haunted at her mention of Barsam... and the emotion that fills her is regret her eyes almost watering.

She turns away completely to hide memories filling her and bringing sorrow to the surface of her mind.

She interrupts Sofsapphire and calmly and relates...

{Do you know what is a sister in a Barsam's mind? It is not the same as us. We live in packs, groups who share a living, but we are put with what were ultimately full strangers. We share our clan, but that is pretty much it. We forge our links through fire, and then we get seperated and put into other groups. We are forever switched from place to place, until we actually get to choose our place, while getting higher in the hierarchy.

In a Barsam's mind, sister, and brother, are words to denote kinship. But it is foremost a term of respect. We share more than blood, we share a mental link. It is hard to explain in Loroi terms what it means. The humans, however, do have a word for that: the gang, friends. You share no blood, or almost none, but your relation is more than professionnal. They are the people that you care about, your inner circle, those people with whom you have a link. But it is not sexual, it is merely emotional. If Loroi build relationships through fire, disasters, Barsam do it through water, life and enjoyment. And I believe you had the same feeling for your Barsam friend.

What you feel, Stormrage, is a guilt survivors feel towards those who died in the same situation. Face your feelings; you are angry. But now, you are angry to live. You are angry because you live while others, dear to your heart, died in the same situation. Shiningsilver, I know not her. But it is clear from how you say that she was precious to your mind. You did not loose crewsisters there, you lost people you cared about in the deepest parts of your intimity, your friends. But remember, you were close to them. Look at how you think; I am sure you would have died for them to live. You almost wish to die so they could live again. That is exactly what they did with you.

True heroes, you say, die. Really? Look around you, I haven't seen yet someone who lived without dying, except those who are currently living. We all die. And being a hero? It is not about dying. Being a hero is about helping. You did your best on the Deathwind. And with us? Look, you did great. You were able to save all who survived the Umiak attack. You garanteed both our safety and Loroi security with your tactics. And you did all that while with a head injury that would have put me down right away. You helped us. That's being a hero, and you ARE one. And you'll keep on helping. I am sure both Shiningsilver and Ahmin-Ka Rey'hram would be proud of what you have done just now. Proud of what you did with the life you have.

Your mother might not think you are worth it, but we shall not care about this now; my mother was no better in judging people. Do you think my spoken name was a gift? It was an insult, given to me by my former instructors, which my mother never really went against. Sapphire for a blue rock, the lowest tier of the Listel. And soft because it would crack at any moment. I wear it with pride today, as an take-that to all my former instructors, now in the high ranks of the Listel. To remind them of how bad they judged me. My mother eventually respected me with this cleverness of mine, but I don't rely on her evaluations anymore.

Think about it, you were worth it for those two friends of yours. Who are more important in your heart? The feeling of a mother who is in it only for her own status, like most of our mothers, or those two friends of yours? If it is they, take their action. Cry their death; it is important when you forge such links. Crying is no sign of weakness, it is a sign of emotional loss. We Loroi are especially not good about that. But the blame you hold on yourself, is a blame because you believe you are not worth it, and I don't believe one second your friends would wish that upon you.

You were worth it, to Shiningsilver; to Ahmin-Ka Rey'hram as well. To both of them, you were worth their help. You are worth it. If it wasn't for you, I myself wouldn't be here. You cannot blame yourself for stupid tactics that merely rely on numbers. Or for stupid Umiaks, for that matter. They are blind to our emotions. But you are not, you have them. And your hurt is understandable. Such things happen; and you are fully right at being angry and sad. But not at yourself. They, your friends, made their choices as well. To engage in this war. To do what they can, even if it includes dying while saving people, which may or not include you. And, ultimately, they gave you something. People thought that you were worth it, and some still do, including this whole crew who are grateful. You are strong.

So don't be mad at your survival, be mad that a stupid general somewhere waited too long and because of that, they died. Be angry, especially, at the Umiak who try to eradicate anything that stops them from destroying worlds. It's not your fault. You say your Barsam friend should not have died. He didn't deserve it. Nobody deserves a death at the Umiak's hand. But we either fight, or are destroyed anyways. And in stead, use the life he wanted to protect to protect others. And look at the chance you have; you might help protect a whole species all on your own. Knowing the Barsam, your friend would be more than proud.

Also, being ready for your duty, Stormrage, includes being ready in mind. While your work is not compromised, as you actually have demonstrated, I still think we can heal that a lot better. It is my way to thank you for all the help you gave me, Hero. So this is why I asked you to come. We will heal that part of you. And will have the best Teidar in the Galaxy.}


"...why can we not be free to love whom our hearts demand of us? I honestly don't know how I 'feel' about Charles Aldridge. I just don't want to be hurt anymore... its easier not to feel anything."

{As for Loroi Society, we have been bred for war. Love is barely a distraction. So much that we frown upon it. And when you have the number of boys we have, it's not as if it encouraged bonding. That, at least, I have come to understand. Seeing the Barsam, I personally think we would gain by being friendlier with each other. But we are billions, and only a few with such experience.

As for being with humans, let me remind you that we don't know much of them. Care IS needed, no matter what. But I will not be the one to forbade you any sort of relation with the human. I know well how fullfiling it can be, so I will do what I can, as I said. And your hurt, Stormrage... is the proof you are alive.}

To Softsapphire
SpoilerShow
Stormrage does not interrupt Softsapphire again. But lets her pain out in tears and soft sobs, hands on her face. Slowly her mind shields fade as she takes in the Sanzaied' words of support and encouragement. There is no deception in them she knows Softsapphire speaks true, heart-felt sentiments... a support and encouragement... Stormrage has rarely ever received... since the floundering of the Deathwind and the loss of dear friends.

Stormrage turns to Softsapphire and smiles appreciative, her pretty green eyes soft and tender. She steps toward her raising her bare hand for offered contact, finally sanzaing freely with her.

{You are very kind to speak so with me sweet sister. You are a true friend. I'll not forget your words of support. Thank you.}

Softsapphire can feel her fully now.. the color of her aura... her mind vibrant green and yellow with swirls of reddish orange glowing pulsing, encompasing the totality of her emotions and thoughts. There was fading the knot of hidden pain and loss from her mind and the strength of her self-image was stronger...brighter than before. Softsapphire was sure her words had indeed helped had comforted the pain and loss that she had deeply buried with her heart. A rot of soul that was fading. Her desire was for her friendship for her respect and intimate trust. Storm's will was strong and her power undiminished.

To Softsapphire's shock Stormrage brushed her mental contact across the pleasure centers of her mind just the most tenuous of touches but one deliberate and VERY intimate! Not something one would casually do with just anyone... even in passing! But the intimate mental contact is brief... as if seeking to find out if such contact would be accepted or rejected...


* {Picture a man walking down a street past a unknown pretty woman suddenly lightly brushing very briefly his hand across the curve of her breast! That kind contact but mental.}
{Now, as for the whole Lotai thing... Well, that is exactly what I wanted to see. I thought of making the test myself, but like our Mizol, I was afraid of hurting the humans with any attempt. Forgetting all the emotional, what did it feel like. For me, when you did it, it felt as void. We have a connexion to everything living, but that... emptiness... was unsettling. I would like you to describe your sensations (except your emotional bond) about it. I might want to attempt it later. I am supposed to meet one of their Listel, or scientists as they say here, after we are done.}
Storm continues sanzaing, {As for the human lotai... and the contact I made with Charles Aldridge... I can share it with you. He.. was so... very warm to the touch, but his skin was soft firm from the muscles beneath but like any other male loroi. His brown eyes were large and fully of wonder... He smelled... like a thick dark wooded tree {equivalent to the smell of a walnut shell. Loroi bio-chemistry being different they register human scent as different from what we would}... it was like being in an old forest of hardwooded trees. It was not an unpleasant scent to his flesh... but odd.

I... must admit... I wondered what it would feel like to feel his obviously strong arms wrapped around me... filling me with his warmth... and the smell of trees around me. I ...fear he might smother me with the heat of his body ... with any intimate contact...}


Visibly her cheeks colored that familiar hot blush of hers.

* {Though personally I think loroi would blush a violet color not red}

{... mentally he was strongly there... a strong will not soft. I could not read him in passing. But his aura was not erratic in shape... like those often given to violence, not shifting like those given to deception. He was clearly defined in shape and form. I think he is honest and if not kind at least very calm and perhaps cerebral of demeanor... or contemplative. But it was very hard to tell unable to see any true color to his aura.

But his physical reactions were not hard to read, his breathing came in light gasps his heart-beat increased his eyes widened. His senses seemed to reel ... and not just because of the likely first mental contact he had even been subject to. I made no attempt to probe or send any thoughts.. I merely showed him my mind and let him 'feel' my presence. There was no doubt he found it pleasurable... intimate.}

{You have my friendship. You are not alone. Whenever you will need help, come to me. But we will need more time to heal all of this completely. A scar that hasn't healed for years cannot heal in a mere treatment. But I believe you are already feeling a lot better. This is good. And now perhaps you can even understand why I frustrated the whole Listel board, because I tend to bring the good in all people I team up with.}

Softsapphire gets a little shocked by the intimity Stormrage's offers.

{Be careful with your intimacy. For now, I must first say that I am still taking care of you, and we better not involve ourselves too deeply. But also, I have someone back home, waiting. Well, I have my team; but I have that special person as well waiting me back there, a quite deep relation.}

Softsapphire lets a little of the deep relation she has with the Barsam filter through. It is an incomprehensible mix of lust, care and friendship that Stormrage must find, at best, puzzling.

{I believe we could be great friends; Barsam-sister if you get my meaning. But on my side, I have "him". And on your side, I believe you have found someone...}
Storm continues sanzaing, {As for the human lotai... and the contact I made with Charles Aldridge... I can share it with you.

{Well, I guessed right. Keep your most intimate thoughts for him. Trust me, what you have described there makes it clear to me what you feel, even though you yourself are just starting to understand it.

For the moment... let's just take our time about all this. You have found yourself someone special. I won't hide that your relation would also help me understand their whole lotai thing. But all in all, it will be a win-win scenario for us all. Interesting about his definition. He was there, but as a colorless shape.

And... from what you describe, it is fairly clear that what you felt, he also feels. He might not have sanzai and a strong lotai, so he will show it differently I suppose. But he clearly loved it.}

To Sorftsapphire
SpoilerShow
{You have my friendship. You are not alone. Whenever you will need help, come to me. But we will need more time to heal all of this completely. A scar that hasn't healed for years cannot heal in a mere treatment. But I believe you are already feeling a lot better. This is good. And now perhaps you can even understand why I frustrated the whole Listel board, because I tend to bring the good in all people I team up with.}

Softsapphire gets a little shocked by the intimity Stormrage's offers.

{Be careful with your intimacy. For now, I must first say that I am still taking care of you, and we better not involve ourselves too deeply. But also, I have someone back home, waiting. Well, I have my team; but I have that special person as well waiting me back there, a quite deep relation.}
Stormrage smiles warmly, drawing back her mental contact to mere communication out of respect sanzaing, {Of course sweet sister. I ...understand. My Malirtin 'Shining-Silver'.. may yet live. she was gravely injured.. but I got her off the Deathwind.. with several others... none of them known closely but crew-sisters I manged to save for the dying warship. I... sometimes wonder if I could have... or would have saved more if I had not focused so on saving my dearest 'Shining-Silver'. It has been almost a year now.. and I have not heard if she survived as she was taken to a medical frigate... and I was put back into battle immediately. No knowing can be... terrible... especially when one is... so use to such intimate contact with someone... so very dear.}

The unhidden undercurrent of her emotions is rather... shocking! Stormrage enjoyed Softsapphire's reaction to her brief intimate contact... a fiery lust and deep appetites stirred within her. There is no doubt to Softsapphire that Stormrage is a most passionate and fiery of lovers... almost shamefully lecherous in her attractions...

If there is a Loroi that might understand Softsapphire's intimate relationship with her Barsam... Stormrage would be the one... her emotions show no shock at the brief revelation of softsapphire's emotions for her Barsam... in fact if anything a slight touch of envy. But it is mostly joy that she has such a strong emotional gift.
{I believe we could be great friends; Barsam-sister if you get my meaning. But on my side, I have "him". And on your side, I believe you have found someone...}
Storm's emotions swirl uncertain and ... pensive, { I.. I'm uncertain... he is so .. hard to read. I...don't know how close we can ever be... if I can't really touch... feel... or even 'see' his mind... He may not feel anything for me... merely embarrassment at so strange a sensation as feeling my mind.. }
{Well, I guessed right. Keep your most intimate thoughts for him. Trust me, what you have described there makes it clear to me what you feel, even though you yourself are just starting to understand it.

For the moment... let's just take our time about all this. You have found yourself someone special. I won't hide that your relation would also help me understand their whole lotai thing.

And... from what you describe, it is fairly clear that what you felt, he also feels. He might not have sanzai and a strong lotai, so he will show it differently I suppose. But he clearly loved it.}
Her emotional reaction is one of roiling desires sparked to flames spreading but unfocused... she is still not sure...

{Perhaps...}

Then propriety reasserts itself and she gathers her mental resources. Her mind shields are raised but politely and she stands taller, sanzaing {Thank you again crew-sister - I will never forget your kind attention. I will see you on a regular basis to work out my emotional injuries, but I must be going I have duties to see to and Sunbloom wishes to confer with me.. best I get to my responsibilities.}

She turns and smiles one last time before leaving the room.
Stormrage exists Softsapphire's quarters her pretty emerald gaze is intense but her stride is more certain... and lighter somehow.

Then she catches Thoughtvenoms garbled broad sanzai sending...

«I shall soon make an attempt at consuming Human food in order to counteract [incomprehensible]. If any of you wish to join me, I am ‹here›‹there›‹everywhere›‹nowhere› in what said Humans call a ‘mess-hall’. UnlessyouhaveconvokedaquorumelsewhereinwhichcaseIrequestofyoutodivineformeitslocation.»
And turns to look her direction as she heads for the airlock concern clear in her expression...

Stormrage strides urgently over to Thoughtvenom and speaks, "...are you unwell dear crew-sister?"
